My family had major discussions about this article. We all LOVE the colors of Auburn. Disagreeing with your comment "not to mention wearing those godawful colors"! The most gorgeous sunsets are burnt orange and blue, I can't imagine why someone would use the term "godawful" to describe them. I have lots of e-mail I could post here to show you our discussions, but sending them directly to you may be best! War Eagle!
